    In-band Management There are two ways to implement remote in-band management of a WANsuite 5260/5230 unit. The first is to use the local router to route management frames (Web browser or SNMP) between the local LAN and the remote unit. The second method is to use the local WANsuite 5260/5230 unit as an independent gateway.

To establish or maintain the connectivity of the backbone, virtual links can be configured through non-backbone areas. Basically, virtual links are used to connect components that are otherwise not connected to the backbone.
